perhaps your kernel isn't liking your new setup. The quickest alternative
MAY be to reinstall. The other alternative is you use a boot floppy with
as generic as possible kernel and remake your kernel. If you're using
standard kernels, start sticking pins into a voodoo doll of Herbert Xu
(the guy who made 8 separate optimized kernels) and get the i386 kernel.
